Hey, what do you want from me?As far as I can seeThere's really nothing you get for freeHey, are you dense or just unawareWhen you know the one that's thereCould care less if you even breathedThere's nothing up my sleeveYet I'm the one deceived

Swallow your pride and choke down the pillsKeep it inside and drink to your fillYou push it aside, still waitingFor your ship to finally come ashoreJust one more drop in the downpour to ignore

I know there's a heavy costIf compromise isn't tossedYour dreams can be completely lostStill afraid of changeAnd I'm the one to blame

Swallow your pride and choke down the pillsKeep it inside and drink to your fillYou push it aside, still waitingFor your ship to finally come ashoreJust one more drop in the downpour to ignore

You sit and sate out the windowSearching for winds of changeMeanwhile. The rest of the herdHas much greener grass on their range

You hide in a chasm of prideToo proud to dig yourself outHeartache to the point where you breakWake up and scream and shout

Hey, what do you believe?In dogma and chemistryOr a psychedelic philosophy?When damaging your soulYou pay a heavy toll

Swallow your pride and choke down the pillsKeep it inside and drink to your fillYou push it aside, still waitingFor your ship to finally come ashoreJust one more drop in the downpour to ignore

Still you do nothing about itYou're playing tug of warStill you do nothing about it.
